It's unlikely but check the line from the transom assembly as well as the fitting for cracks leaks. 99% it's more than likely the input shaft seal is leaking and has filled your bellows up. If you pull the drive and the main bellows is full of drive oil you have your problem.

If it's getting oil in the bilge and the bellow is dry...you've changed cap and reservoir, the only thing left is the
fitting that snaps on to the transom assy or the hose from said fitting to the reservoir, or a broken clamp on the hose.
